It takes into account the actual dates of each cash flow, making it more accurate for investments with uneven cash flow patterns.XIRR considers both the amounts and the specific dates of the cash flows when calculating the rate of return.It's particularly useful for evaluating the returns on investments like real estate, where cash flows can vary significantly in amount and timing (e.g., rental income, property appreciation, expenses, etc.).In summary, while both IRR and XIRR are used to calculate rates of return on investments, IRR assumes regular intervals for cash flows, whereas XIRR handles irregular or non-periodic cash flows by considering the actual dates of each cash flow.
